IC Prospective: Flying Teacher

[papatiger]

Character: Wesley Sun
Mun: San
Plot specific: No.

According to our dear Divination teacher, we're in for some rough winds tomorrow so I'm afraid that actual flying is out of the question. But before some of you start groaning about theory classes, I've got some extra incentive for you lot to appear to class in tip-top shape!

Bring your swimming costumes if you have them, and if you don't I have some Water Resistant Charms. Just make sure you're wearing comfortable clothing that doesn't drag with the wind. And don't worry if you can't swim; just trust this old tiger to take care of you because tomorrow, we're going to learn about the power of bad weather and how we can use it to our advantage when we're flying.

The sailing's just part of the fun.

Sailing, you say? Teaching our precious young minds to take to the seas, are we?

Should you ever require a second hand, I'm something of an aficionado. [Jack? Offering to help? Never!]

[papatiger]

Well in my defence sailing is a lot like flying, but it would be a lie if I said I wasn't trying to stir some interest. I'll see to it that this school starts a sailing club before I retire.

Your offer is appreciated, Sparrow, but I think I can handle a small thing like the School Lake by myself.

[savviest]

I'm certain we'll be surrounded with budding privateers in an instant! Or, should you gauge the interest of a...particular circle of students, we may be up to our necks in soon to be pirates.

Suit yourself! Can't say I didn't try.

[papatiger]

I'd be sorely disappointed if they did end up as pirates. A waste of life and potential. I'd have to set them on the right course.

If you fancy a sail you're free to join us. I could use someone to keep up those Water Resistant charms.

[savviest]

Ah, yes. Terrible times are had when one is free and under their own constitution. You'd best crush any signs of free will you see before you set them off into the world, terrible things have been known to happen when one acts of their own accord.

I shall have to consider that, my good man.

[papatiger]

Terrible times are had when a boat is attacked out on sea, when an honest man is afraid to sail on open waters because he might be the next target of some pirate scum who would demand a ransom and may not be merciful enough to even return a scrap of body to his grieving widow, yes.

I would not call that freedom, mate.

[savviest]

Then clearly, my friend, you've absolutely no idea what freedom is. It's a battle of the freest. The ones who make their own rules are the ones that win nine times out of ten.

[papatiger]

I disagree. Making your own rules just means that you'll eventually cross someone else out there, and sometimes you might just get caught in a trap of your own making.

I think being free is about being able to do what you want with no worries about what you left behind or what you're going to face. It's living a life that gives you no regrets.
